What A Change

2 Replies

I was sure

No one could hear my cry

No one could feel my hurt

No one could truly love me

 

Then I found

Jesus would hear my prayer

Jesus would heal my pain

Jesus would always love me

 

I knelt down

And prayed through in tears

And prayed for His peace

And prayed He would save me

 

He came in

And filled up my soul

And filled me with joy

And filled the void in my heart

 

Now I know

His love has no end

His love is by grace

His love shows His mercy

 

What a change He brought

To my longing heart

What a Savior He is to me

Because He has set me free

 

He’s all that I ever sought

To fill up my poor dead heart

And He’ll do the same for you

If you’ll only ask Him to

The Requirement

Leave a reply

What does the Lord require of me?

How can I know His will for me?

What does He ask that I should see?

Lord, help me know your plan

 

First we must do the things that are just

So that others will know we are men of trust

For our principles we will not adjust

Just to win one more friend or two.

 

Then we show mercy to all we meet

For Jesus showed mercy to us in our need

We must pass on His mercy to all that we greet

To be what He wants us to be

 

And last but not least, the most difficult part

We must walk with a humble and lowly heart

Putting others before self in all regards

So His light will shine through me

 

These words are not new, but from ages past

The old prophet Amos did speak them first

And for these three things we all should thirst.

As this is the will of God for me.

 

I pray you will heed these words this day

Do justly, love mercy, walk humbly I pray

For these are the words that the prophet did say

Are requirements of our God.

Jesus, You Are

Jesus, what a wonder

You put the stars in place

Separated earth and sky

Set the sun in space

Brought up food from fertile ground

Spoke and animals abound

Jesus, what a wonder you are

 

Jesus, your incredible

Came to earth a babe

Left your throne in glory

In a manger lay

Shepherds bowed in worship

Wise men brought great gifts

Jesus, how incredible you are

 

Jesus, your amazing

Ministered three years

Walked among the people

Joy flowed out in tears

Lowly men would hear Him

Learned men turned from Him

Jesus, how amazing you are

 

Jesus, you are mercy

Died upon the cross

Gave your life so freely

Paid such a big cost

Ransomed me from all my sin

Then you brought me peace within

Jesus, you are mercy to me

 

In all the ways of time and space

There’s no one who can take your place

I long to be in your embrace

Safe from any harm

 

So I will praise your mighty name

You ransomed me, Your name I’ll raise

For all the marvels you have made

Your worth is more than life

You’re Welcome

Leave a reply

There are so many times

I say Thank You Lord

For the wonderful things you have done

But oft I’m so busy

Giving Him thanks

That I don’t listen to His response

 

I think, if I’d listen

To hear His soft voice

The words He would say would be clear

He would once again

Tell me of His great love

As He whispers these words in my ear

 

Your welcome to my peace

More peace then you’ve ever known

I’ll shower it on you each day

So you’ll never feel alone

 

Your welcome to my joy

That bubbles up from deep within

Though trials may come in your life

My joy will help you to win

 

Your welcome to my healing

For sickness and heartache and pain

You no longer have to suffer

My healing will touch you again

 

Your welcome to my mercy

I extend it to you each day

I paid the punishment for your sin

So you can be free from your shame

 

Your welcome to my grace

I desire to bless you so much

By faith take the gifts that I give you

Allow me your life to touch

 

I feel He would go on and on

Welcoming me to His love

The list of His blessings is endless

He showers them down from above

 

So the next time I thank Him, I’ll listen

To see if these words He will say

And then I will take time to praise Him

Day after day after day

He Took and He Gave

Leave a reply
When He died upon the cross that day
His love came down through time
He gathered all my sins away
And replaced them with His life
He took my unforgiveness
My bitterness and grief
And showed me what forgiveness really means
For I was undeserving
Of the mercy He gave me
Now I try to understand my brothers needs
He took my doubts and fears
Of who I really was
And showed me His great plan to change my life
For I was wandering aimless
Never touching anyone
Now I help the lost to change their lives
He took my insecurity
Of what the future holds
And showed me there’s a hope for all of time
For I was wasting all my time
On dead end pursuits
Now i can truly know that heaven will be mine
He took my lousy attitude
And the venom my mouth spewed
And showed me that His joy could overcome
For I was only happy
When things would go my way
Now this joy always reminds me He has won
He took away my anger
At all the hurts Ihad endured
And showed me that to love is so much more
For I was always lonely
And was closed off deep inside
Now I try to make myself an open door
The change He made in my life
Didn’t happen overnight
In fact He still has so much work to do
But one thing that I know
Is when I asked Him in my heart
My life became much better through and through

Words From My Savior

Leave a reply

I open my eyes

And what do I see

My Blessed Savior

Looking at me

 

A smile on His face

His eyes open wide

He takes hold of my hand

And sits down at my side

 

“Hello Son” He says slowly

“I’ve so much to say

I want to guide you

Through all of your days.

 

I want to tell you

Of my wondrous plans

Drawn up I’m heaven

They’ll help you to stand

 

You see, trials will come

And sorrows you’ll know

These things are a part

Of what makes you grow

 

There’ll even be times

You’ll be sick or in pain

But what I allow

Is there for your gain

 

The problem that comes

And you don’t understand

Is that you think these things

Are not in my plan.

 

I implore you, my son

When you take time to.pray

That you also take time

To listen each day

 

So often you fill

Your prayers up with words

That you can’t hear me speaking

My soft, gentle words

 

In my words are your comfort

Your peace and your joy

So.please don’t miss out

Take time to enjoy

 

Then He got up and left

And the lesson was taken

When I.pray words don’t matter

It’s the listening that makes it

Restore The Land

Leave a reply

The enemy gathers daily

Just before the dawn

To plan a way to take you down

They gather up the gossip

Rumors and lies

And start a chain to spread it all around

 

Wording carefully crafted

And very neatly spun

Their web of deception knows no shame

The little minions gather

One by one they flee

To the human destination with their name

 

The saints of God gather

Just before the dawn

To plan a way to lift you to the King

They sound aloud their prayers

For healing and strength

To fight the battles this day’s going to bring

 

Interceding Prayers

And praises to our God

Their voices sing a song of victory

The angels gather round

To protect the saints of God

From any and all attacks of the enemy

 

With which of these groups

Do you work today?

The one lifting up?

Or the one breaking down?

 

Because as Christians we seem

To take both sides in stride

One minute we tear up

And the next we edify.

 

This ought not to be

In our lives as His church

We ought to be always

Lifting up those who hurt

 

Gossip and tale bearing

Have no place in the body

Putting others down for fun

Is an affront to our Lord

 

So come on church, rise up

Let the good words win out

Let the body of Christ

Rise up with a shout

Encourage each other

Pray for the sick

Help out the lonely

Make your faith stick

 

If all of us would

Take the time for this plan

The church would rise up

And restore this land

I have a few things
To share with you
He’s my healer
Plain and simple
He’s the one
Who did it all
Gave the knowledge
To the doctors
Of things both
Great and small
He brought this team
Together
Bands of doctors
Nurses too
They administered
The treatment
From the wisdom
God issued
It’s His mercy and grace
I relied on
His mercy and grace
Saw me through
He guided your
Every prayer
And answered them
Through and through
Lord, I thank you
For watching over me
Every moment of every day
You are my healer
You’ll restore me
I give you all of my praise

Triumph in Trials

3 Replies

I sit here in the hospital

And my thoughts go out to those

Who question why they’d be in such a place

And I can’t help but realize

That many of us choose

To think that these things come through lack of faith

 

I will beg to differ though

When trials and tests do come

That lack of faith is not the cause at all

I have a loving Father

Who knows His plan for me

At every turn I’m asked to hear His call

 

I know beyond a doubt He has a plan for me

And I know His plan is always for my good

So if He’s decided I should go through cancer in my life

Then I know He’s the one who’ll see me through

 

You might ask why a loving God would bring this upon me

How can good come out of something that can kill

Well let me take a moment to tell you what He’s done

In this short time while He has kept me still

 

Prayers have been answered all over the world

From friends I have both here and overseas

Building up their faith for battles that will come

Battles that by prayer will see defeat

 

The poems I have written have reached around the globe

Thousands upon thousands have been touched

This ministry is growing to edify the church

It witnesses of His great love for us

 

The testimony that this trial will one day give to me

I will share with everyone I know

Because of His great mercy, that spared me from the worst

TI can shout that He has carried be right through

 

And last is the fact that healing will come

And the glory will all go to Him

And others will be lifted up in their faith

And our enemy will never win

 

So sing out His praises when trial arise

Lift up His name and look to the skies

Your redeemer will help you and faith He’ll supply

As you rest in His loving arms

I can see it in your eyes

I can hear it in your voice

You have heard the Savors call

You have finally made the choice

 

There are so many things

That will now come about

Your life will be different

There is not any doubt

 

He’ll first give you peace

More than you’ve ever known

It will fill up your soul

And then it will grow

 

Next is the awesome joy

That comes up out of your heart

It is so much more than the happiness

This world can barely impart

 

Then there’s the hope of tomorrow

Knowing His plans are all good

And our heavenly home awaits us

That is clearly understood

 

You then start to see His mercy

Intervening in trials and tests

You realize He’s there with you

And He never, ever rests

 

Then His grace becomes part of us

And we gain the desire to forgive

And our heart reaches out to the lost

As we beg them to be saved and live

 

Finally His love rises deep from within

A love greater than man ever knew

It compels us to reach out to all that we know

And try to give them life renewed

 

The radical change that takes place

When we make Jesus our Lord

Is only a starting point in our lives

A time to give others that choice.
